While I'll admit this is somewhat self serving, I do believe that web apps rather than "native" apps remain the best path forward for most things, also on mobile.
The web remains the only platform that is not (entirely) controlled by #BigTech. There's no approval process. Web apps cannot (easily) be pulled. Whoever builds them is in full control of their distribution. There's no tax on "in app" purchases. Yes, the browser landscape is not as diverse as it ought to be and hopefully that will improve, but if you compare it to Apple and Google-controlled ecosystems like iOS and Android, it's still miles ahead. Also, they're way cheaper to build.
In 2026 I'm aiming to be more deliberate in filling up my dock and home screen (yes, I will likely stay on Apple operating systems for pragmatic reasons) with more and more web apps, replacing native apps. I think this doable now. OS support for PWAs has improved a lot (even on iOS).
On my home screen right now some daily driver #PWAs: @silverbulletmd (notes), @phanpy (fediverse), #Miniflux (RSS reading), Voyager (Lenny and PieSocial client), @linkwarden , @homeassistant (still the native app, but 99% web tech), #Ghost (blogging), @plausible (analytics). #Feishin (@navidrome_releases streaming).

It took me some time to get used to Miniflux's expected usage pattern.
It's like Miniflux wants me to skim a lot of articles and read a few.
I start by opening the first article in Unread, then keep pressing 'l' to go to the next article ('h' to go to the previous one) and occasionally mark an article as unread by pressing 'm', if it's too long or I want to read it later.
It's a faster workflow compared to Tiny Tiny RSS. It's like the "inbox zero" approach for RSS feeds

Tried #freshrss yesterday, but no, I’m back with #miniflux. Can’t beat that minimalist and efficient design working great on all my devices without any apps. #selfhosted of course. Now running on a #RaspberryPi since my other server died.

Finally did the long-pending migration of my RSS feeds from TT-RSS to Miniflux.
There are still some rough edges with the FreedomBox app for Miniflux. I will get to fixing them as I use Miniflux more.
It's awkward when you can't complain about something because you were the one who implemented it. 😅
Maybe FreedomBox also needs a proper managed service for PostgreSQL to do upgrades and purges. I found 9 different versions of PG daemons running on my machine.
